The house at Cañas 1367 and the Barrio Lastarria. I went to Lastarria with Katerina, a Russian woman who has come to Chile for some economics research, who I met in María's language class with Bryant and Ines a while back. Víctor showed me the house on Cañas when we were talking about the Villa Grimaldi walking back from his house one day. It's literally less than a minute's walk from my house.

In this house at 1367 Jose Domingo Cañas in the year 1974 during the military dictatorship (1973-1990) 42 comrades were arrested and disappeared, and Lumi Videla M. was killed under torture [and other names blotted out]

Names of those who were disappeared from here.

And nevertheless they will survive in the truth of a resemblance, in the broken voice of a village spokesperson.

|
Here the most ferocious violations of human dignity were committed. Thus we demand trial and punishment for the torturers.
|
Here they assassinated the body but not the idea.
|
Peace was a dove, the buzzards circling.

A block away there is a little traffic circle that makes for a cute little plaza.

The National Stadium, from Katerina's balcony.

Looking up Cañas towards where I live, the stadium in the background to the right.

The north exit to the Universidad Católica subway station, steps away from the street José Victorino Lastarria.

The Casa Central of the Universidad Católica de Chile.
